The Pillsbury Doughboy died today...

[D'Snowth]

This is a sad story I heard on my radio this morning. But it's not sad in a "boo-hoo!" kind of way, more like "Good Lord, NO!" kind of thing.

Here it is...

The Pillsbury Doughboy died today at the age of 71 due to complications from a yeast infection, and being poked in the stomach too many times.

He was buried in a traditional grease coffin, and alot of his celebrity friends came to pay their respects including: Mrs. Butterworth, Hungry Jack, Aunt Jemima, and Capt. Crunch.

He was preceded by his death by his father, Pop Tart, and is survived by wife Play-Doh, and their children: John Dough, Jane Dough, and one in the oven (now I understand one of Kathy Greenwood's jokes! )

The funeral will at at 3:50, and held for 20 minutes.

That's all I can remember from it, but I was tearing!

One in the Oven, LOL!
That was... interesting! I heard the beginning of that one before, but not the full version. I wonder if it's online? Hmmm, I think I've got some searching to do...

If you find it, let me know, cuz I have the feeling I left a few details out.

The Pillsbury Doughboy Died

Via craigslist.org: The Pillsbury Doughboy Died

Veteran Pillsbury spokesman, The Pillsbury Doughboy, died
yesterday of a severe yeast infection and complications
from repeated pokes to the belly. He was 71.

Doughboy was buried in a slightly greased coffin. Dozens
of celebrities turned out, including Mrs. Butterworth,
the California Raisins, Hungry Jack, Betty Crocker, the
Hostess Twinkies, and many others. The graveside was
piled high in flours as longtime friend Aunt Jemima
delivered the eulogy, describing Doughboy as a man who
"never knew how much he was kneaded".

Doughboy rose quickly in show business, but his later
life was filled with many turnovers. He was not
considered a very smart cookie, wasting much of his
dough on half-baked schemes. Still, even as a crusty
old man, he was a roll model to millions. Doughboy is
survived by his second wife, Play Dough. They have two
children and one in the oven. The funeral was held at
350 for about twenty minutes.

Found this on a blog somewhere...seems like a lot of sites have it. :|

Kind of like the final story Jane Curtin delivered during Weekend Update on SNL in 1976 ...

"In a tragically-related final story, TV personality Speedy Alka Seltzer came out of the medicine cabinet this week, and admitted that he was a bicarbonate.

Fearful over possible criticism, the beloved Speedy threw himself into a bathtub and was fatally effervesced.

A grief-stricken close friend, Popenfresh, the Pillsbury Doughboy, said that Speedy left behind a suicide note that read, simply, 'Plop-plop-fizz-fizz, oh what a relief it is.'

Memorial services for Speedy Alka Seltzer will be tomorrow at ten o'clock, and will be repeated every four hours."

Although I've read this joke before, it's always good for a chuckle. Wonder if any Sesame Street fans have added in-jokes about "sometimes food" to this story? (Pillsbury does sell slice-and-bake rolls of cookie dough, after all...)

ROFL! But who's his first wife? This reminds me of the skits with the Pillsbury Dough Boy on Paul Provenza's Comics Only show back when Comedy Central was starting its fourth or fifth years. Coupled with a few other bits here and there from other Comedy Central shows led me to a helluba satirical movie loaded with commercial product spokescharacters.
